How to Check a Phone Number’s Mobile Network?

There are at least 6 mobile network providers in the Philippines. With this many operating in the country, it is really difficult to say to what network a phone number belongs to. Is it Smart, Globe, Sun Cellular, TM, TNT, Cherry Prepaid or others? It’s time to know!

In the Philippines, a prefix number is used by telco companies to easily identify a mobile number’s network. It is the first 4 digits of the 11-digit phone number, that is why it is called prefix number.

For example, if your phone number is 09123456789, then your prefix number is 0912. However, in some instances, the Philippines’country code (63) is used rather than 0, in the first number. In that case, 09123456789 will become 639123456789. Then you are thinking, is 6391 the prefix number? NO!

If 63 is used instead of 0, just replaced 63 with 0. Using the example above, your prefix number will still be 0912. By checking at the table below, we can then say that the mobile network of 09123456789 is TNT or the person using that number is a Talk ‘n Text subscriber.
